If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the spirit of glory, which is the Spirit of God, is resting on you. 1 Peter 4:14 NRSV [italics added]

Peters teaching is based upon Jesus words found in Matthew 5:3-10 and Luke 6:20-21. Further study: Compare how Jesus uses the same word.

Peter identifies the Spirit of God with the spirit of glory.
Those versions that use the word “spirit” twice do so for clarity of authorial intent rather than out of an obsessive loyalty to a strictly literal rendering of the Greek.
